Preventive & wellness
Annual exams, vaccination planning and bloodwork that catches the slow problems while they are still small.
Est. 2009 · Fernwood Road
Veterinary care for dogs, built around how frightened they are of us.
Fernwood · Small animal practice
So we built a clinic that listens in other ways — slower appointments, quieter rooms, and the diagnostics to find what a wagging tail is hiding.
Since 2009 · Fernwood Road
01 — What we do
Annual exams, vaccination planning and bloodwork that catches the slow problems while they are still small.
Scaling, extractions and charting under monitored anaesthesia — with pre-op bloods every single time.
Routine and referred procedures in a dedicated theatre, with a nurse whose only job is watching your dog breathe.
Digital radiography and ultrasound on site, so you get an answer in the same visit rather than the next one.
Mobility, kidneys, hearts and comfort. Older dogs get longer appointments because they need them.
We hold slots back every morning. If something is wrong today, ring us today.

Keep scrolling — they walk past sideways.
Drag, or let it walk past
03 — Inside
Nobody goes straight on the table. We sit on the floor first and let your dog decide when.
Owners come through for everything except theatre. Familiar hands lower the heart rate more than anything we own.
Nose to tail, every visit, in the same order — so a change from last year shows up as a change.
Written notes, a phone number that reaches a human, and a call from us the next morning.
The point of all of it. Everything we do is measured against how fast they get back outside.
04 — Voices
They found the lump at a routine check. Six months later she is chasing seagulls again.
M. R. — with Biscuit
He hides under the car at the sound of the word vet. He walked into Fernwood on his own.
D. A. — with Ash
They rang the next morning to ask how he slept. Nobody has ever done that.
S. K. — with Rusty
Told us honestly that the expensive scan would not change the plan. That is why we stayed.
J. P. — with Nova

Fill this in and we will call back the same working day. If it is urgent right now, phone instead — we hold slots every morning.
